I don't have a whole lot of good to say about her because she was one of the first politicians to swallow hook, line, and sinker the batshit economic theories of crackpot "economist" Milton Friedman, to the dismay of the citizens of that country. Unfortunately, she wasn't the last politician to swallow that bullshit; it continues across the pond with that fake Democrat in the White House.
Snip:
Mrs. Thatcher, 87, was Britain’s first female prime minister, serving for 11 years beginning in 1979. She was known as the Iron Lady, a stern Conservative who transformed Britain’s way of thinking about its economic and political life, broke union power and opened the way to far greater private ownership.
The daughter of a grocer, she was leader of Britain through its 1982 war in the Falklands and stamped her skepticism about European integration onto her country’s political landscape for decades.
Though Mrs. Thatcher had been in poor health for months, the news of her death still overwhelmed many. Within moments of the announcement by Lord Bell, Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister David Cameron offered tributes to what Mr. Cameron called “a great leader, a great prime minister, a great Briton.”
On Monday, Mr. Cameron cut short a visit to Spain and France — billed as the beginning of an effort to resolve his own troubled relationship with much of continental Europe — to return to Britain following Mrs. Thatcher’s death.
Thatcher wasn't very good for the country.
